#2,150 - Texas governor building 80 acre Forward Operations Base base camp in Eagle Pass for up 1,800 NG

In a bold move, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced the construction of an 80-acre base near Eagle Pass, Texas, to house up to 2,300 Texas National Guard members. This decision intensifies the ongoing clash between Texas and the Biden Administration over federal immigration policies. The base, described as a strategic military installation, aims to strengthen border control and counter the influx of migrants. It features facilities for the National Guard, including a dining hall, recreation center, and healthcare services. Abbott's assertive stance reflects Texas' commitment to securing its border, challenging federal authority in immigration enforcement. The move has sparked debates about state versus federal jurisdiction and the broader implications for national border security policies.
